Ya learn something new every day

Today, I learned four things in quick succession:

1. When the spaetzle recipe calls for a colander with 3/16 inch holes, that is not just a suggestion.

2. Once you realize that a colander with 1/8 inch holes just won't work and you go with dropping blobs of spaetzle dough into the water, you can put a bit of margarine on the resulting dough tumors, sprinkle them with powdered sugar and a bit of cinnamon, and make a reasonable facsimile of the bastard offspring of pasta and funnel cake.

3. The bastard offspring of pasta and funnel cake isn't half bad.

4. You can thaw a frozen Papa Murphy's cheese pizza in a warm oven in just about the same amount of time it takes to dig out from under the failed spaetzle

I have never heard of Spaetzle, but you delight me in writing about it. Thanks.
